The PHATA Difference
Philadelphia Art Therapy Associates is a collective of experienced and highly trained therapists who are passionate about helping people heal, overcome challenges, and thrive using art and creativity. Although our clinical associates come from diverse backgrounds, we are of similar minds about one thing. We intend to forge a better world using our unique gifts, one client at a time.
You can expect:
To be a partner in an equal, empathic, and collaborative relationship with your therapist when treatment planning or participating in therapy.
To be treated with the utmost respect and receive superlative ‘customer service’ as guided by the golden rule, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”
That we will accept and celebrate your race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We’re committed to creating a just and inclusive society for everyone.
That our associates always adhere to the highest standards of our profession’s ethical code.
The goal of therapy, at its essence, is to develop insight and awareness:
Awareness of feelings. Awareness of thoughts. Awareness of identity. Awareness of old patterns of coping and relating to others. Awareness of new coping abilities and personal power. Awareness of new possibilities. When you develop awareness, you expand choice. Choice fuels freedom. It’s freedom that enables you to intentionally craft the life you desire and deserve.
Our clinical associates are obsessed with continuously improving our clinical interventions and enhancing our clinical wisdom. To accomplish these objectives, we meet regularly as a team to:
Consult together as a group for confidential case conferences to ensure objectivity and the highest possible quality of care
Mutually educate each other about cutting edge interventions
Hold each other accountable for our collective performance and maintain our stellar reputation.
